favorite doraemon villain?

Man, is my obvious favoritism for Suneo not enough for you guys? [I'm joking...]

Very good question though, and one that really made me take a bit to think on it. The issue with this question is that my relationship with this series solely hinges on my care for the main group, and rarely does my love extend to those outside of them. Piisuke, Fuuko, Riruru and Kebo are my exceptions but I still don't love, love them.

I feel maybe the answer should be obvious, Windmasters is my favorite of the movies so clearly Uranda [or 'evil Suneo'] has to be it right? Not really. The villains often don't matter to me, because their writing is not what I'm here for.

I mean it doesn't hurt when their actually interesting. Professor Storm, for example, isn't much but I at least can enjoy his motives. When it comes to ones like the father in Treasure Island, they often lower my opinion of the film if they are super involved.

So who is my favorite? I think I'll actually have to give it to the men in 'Nobita's Dinosaur 2006.' I do not love them as characters, I'm not searching for fanart of them but I love what they make the movie. They play a huge role in why this movie scores so high for me overall!

It's the aesthetic, the visuals, the tone. It's very different for a Doraemon movie, even among the darker ones. I think that can really make or break someones opinion of it.

It's my favorite in terms of artwork for a Doraemon movie, no current modern movie can compare to the energy it brought. Thanks to the villains, we are granted some creepy visuals which I'm always a sucker for.

It's not just what they bringing to the vibe of the movie artistically, but I enjoy their motives and why they do the things they do. They are different from many of the other villains, I feel many of them are a sort of one-note evil. Often I feel they don't even have a reason to explain their cases to the group, exceptions aside.

These guys, well they are certainly very evil people, but it's not like the man in 'South Sea Adventure.' Who shares a similar goal as an animal trafficker in the future world. They aren't boring and drop exposition like their desperate for someone to talk to... they are genuinely slimy, and say their piece often with the intent to hurt or manipulate.

They are dinosaur hunters and traffickers who are tired of the same old hunt and ending up wanting to do something new. Which was hunt and torment children... it's a low bar, but hey they do say the most dangerous hunt of all is man.

I do often say the darkest doesn't equal better, which is true, but it feels like the right amount of evil. That their logic of 'hunting dinosaurs to children' pipeline isn't that much of a leap.

Though, if I were to pick a more traditional Doraemon villain? It's Gigazombie... uh specifically the 2016 version.

This guy rules, and the movie is in my top five at least.

#doraemon talk #the people who know me would not be surprised by the gigazombie answer i have a thing for creepy ppl in masks #if you wear a mask and are evil or at least morally grey? i love you forever #the downside is he had a face reveal and those usually dont land for me but still
